LITERATURE, Doctor Jacob. Hurst and Blackett, Marlborough- street. " Doctor Jacob" is a novel written with a good intention, and in a style well calculated to com mand popularity. The story commences with the arrival of Doctor Jacob at Frankforteon-the-Maine, where he presents letters of introduction from the British Consul to Doctor Paulus, a brother clergy. man, and through his influence is allowed to preach in the church of Mr. Brill, the British chaplain, in order to raise funds to enable him to proceed to Jerusalem on a mission to convert the Jews. His eloquence produces a great sensation, liberal sub scriptions flew in, and he becomes an universal favourite with the denizene of Frankfort. At the school of Franlin Fink, we find Elizabeth, an English governess, highly esteemed by her employer, who, on the arrival of Doctor Jacob, declares her intention of immediately departing; and the reader is led to be ieve that she must be the ruined victim or the injured wife of the rev. gentleman. She is, however, persuaded by Dr. Paulus to remain, least her sudden departure should cause her honour to be questioned. Meantime a certain Baroness Laden berg appears on the scene, apprises Jacob of Elizabeth's presence, and volunteers to bring about a reconciliation between them ; but for her own pur poses she, in her interview with the governess, defeats the object she undertook to attain. All this time the nature of the connection of Elizabeth with the Doc tor is a mystery which the reader cannot fathom. Baron Ladenberg is killed in a thunder-storm, and the Baroness, now free and rich, proposes to marry Jacob, who, from his expensive habits and reckless generosity, is overwhelmed with debt ; but, strange to say, although he loves the lady, he declines the proposition. At the house of Mr. Brill he meets Kitchen Eggers, a rich and charming girl, who, at eighteen years of age, falls in love with the Doctor, who, although turned of sixty, appears to be irre sistible to the ladies, and notwithstanding his un willingness, actually forces him into a matrimonial engagement with her. Meantime the rev. gentle man's creditors become pressing ; he pays some with the mission money, and decamps in company with Elizabeth, to whom he has been reconciled, and who turns out to be his daughter. Kitchen elopes and follows him; sees him walking with Elizabeth, ham she takes to be his wife; as a matter of coarse faints, and is carried senseless into the apartment of Baroness Ladenberg, who has for some time past been persuading her to marry Baron Joseph, her son. After some days of duress she is relieved by Doctor Jacob, who, declaring himself unworthy of her affections, bids her fare well, and proceeds to lead a better life at Vienna with his daughter, where both receive pupils, and support themselves in respectability. The book, although some of the scenes between Doctor Jacob and his admirers are very highly coloured, inculcates morality in so far as it pourtrays most forcibly the misery and degra dation entailed by incurring debt—but the leading characters are not natural. Jacob, an unprincipled Sybarite, refuses to marry the baroness, although by doing so he might not only save himself from dishonour, bat obtain ample means of indulging his expensive tastes for the future; and Kitchen, repre sented as a pure-minded and innocent girl, acts in a manner totally inconsistent with such a character, and ultimately marries one of the professors at Fratalin Finks Academy, to whom, it appeared, she had been long attached. Elizabeth broke of a prior connection between her father and the baroness, who, in revenge, prevented by mess of an anony mous letter, her marriage w, ;,'„'n an English gentle man; anti on this acce d ent she quitted the paternal home, and concealed herself as a governess for seven years. The Story is written with spirit, the style is epigranAreP:cic and brilliant, the descriptions of ilndseaP'J and ruins are charming, and there are few - passages in any book which exceed in dramatic ' 'power the following scene in the Cathedral of St. Stephen : Having contemplated the stupendous tower, with its de licate proportions of arch and buttress, standing clear and defiant against the upper sky, as a grand thought should, and the roof with its gigantic imperial eagle, in red and green tiles softened and mellowed by age, he entered, bestowing kreutzers here and there to the wretched old creatures who begged and counted their beads ia the slanting sun. Inside, the gloom, and loftiness, and perfume of incense weighed upon his spirits like heavy retributive sorrow. He seemed to be in a gigantic pine-forest at twilight, after the glow of sun and before the light of stars. By-and-bye, when his eye had become familiar with the darkness, he could trace rich sculpture, abundant and most fanciful wood carving, altars and tombs of gleaming marble, with delicate rose windows, lighting up the darkness like stars. He could not make his way for the throngs of worshippers, but stood bareheaded beneath the stone pulpit of St. John Capistran. Silence prevailed—for the Host was being ele vated, and most present were on their knees; acolytes in white and red surplices were swinging the censers back wards and forwards; the atmosphere was thick and oppres • sive with incense. By-and-bye, the six gorgeously robed priests retired to their station beside the altar, and the darkness and stillness and gloom were pierced by a woman's thrilling pathetic voice. It was the Ave Maria. Rising from notes of soft but steady passion, the voice ascended to its pile iu the upper air, swift and straight like a skylark ; then, when all the cloggings of earth and humanity were left far below, it swayed gently to and fro, in sweet pulsa tions of tenderness and entreaty, a messenger between earth and heaven— God and man. Dr. Jacob leaned upon a carved coping of the pulpit stair and prayed. He was not subject to impulsive emotion of any kind, much less to religious emotion ; tlut he had been living for months past with one aim and intent — namely, to turn back the current of eelf.reproach that had set in from his past life, and had failed miserably. He felt now, as he had once said, that there is no fleeing from the silent reproach of God, His Excellency Baron de Beust, the representa tive of the Germanic Confederation, arrived in town on Friday night from Germany iu order to attend the Con ference, MARKETS—This Day. MARK-LANE. The demand for wheat in the country markets held on Saturday ruled heavy, and the value of both red and white qualities had a downward tendency. Barley was dull, and prices the turn easier. Other articles moved off slowly, at about previous rates. At New York communication by water has been re-estab lished with some of the lake ports, but the value of wheat and flour continues to advance, notwithstanding that the export demand is very moderate. On the Continent very little is doing in breadstuff on British account, The arrivals of English grain, &c., up to our market last week wore but moderate. The imports from abroad amounted to 11,265 quarters of wheat, 7,916 barley, 23,237 eats, 780 beans, 20 tares, 9,377 linseed, 1,378 oilseeds, 1,700 maize, 290 sacks and 3,099 barrels of flour. Fresh up to our market, to-day the arrivals of homegrown wheat were cn a more extensive scale, and the show of samples on the stands was seasonably large. Generally speaking, the condition of the produce was good; neverthe less, both red and white qualities ret a slow sale at the rates current on Monday last, W.th foreign wheat the market was but moderately supplied. The transactions in' all kinds were, however, confined for the most part to the immediate wants of millers, and, csnipared with this day seennight, no quotable change took place in prices. Floating, cargoes of grain moved off slowly at late rates. About an average supply of barley was on the stands. There was very little inquiry for malting descriptions, and most transactions were at the late decline in the quotations• For grinding and distilling qualities the demand ruled in active on former terms. The malt trade was in a sluggish state at previous quo tations. There was a moderate supply of oats on. offer. Trade ruled steady and last Monday's currency was firmly sup ported. The supply of beans on sale was small, and English qua lities were readily cleared from the stands at fully last Monday's currency. The trade for peas ruled firm, and previous quotations were well supported. The market was very moderately supplied both with English and foreign descriptions. In flour a limited business was transacted on former terms. CURRENCY PER IMPERIAL MEASURE.

The supply of each kind of foreign stock on sale here, to-day, was moderately good. On the whole, the demand for it ruled steady, and the quotations generally were well supported. The arrivals of beasts fresh up from our own grazing dis tricts, as well as from Scotland, were seasonably extensive, and most breeds came to hand in good s leable condition. From Ireland, however, the receipts were limited. On the whole, the beef trade ruled steady, at full currencies. The primest Scots sold at 4s 10d, in some few instances at 5s per Bibs. From Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridgeshire, we received 2,000 Scots, crosses, and short horns; from other parts of England, 600 various breeds; from Scotland, 326 Scots and crosses; and, from Ireland, 100 oxen and heifers. With sheep, we were fairly, but not to say heavily, sup plied. Their general quality was prime. All breeds com manded a steady inquiry, and a few transactions took place at slightly enhanced rates. The best Downs, in the wool, realised Os, out of the wool, 4s 10J per Sibs. There was an increased supply of lambs in the pens. Prime breeds sold freely, on rather higher terms—but in ferior breeds were a dull inquiry, at late rates. Prices ranged from Os 4d to 75 8d per Blbs. About 800 came to hand from the Isle of Wight.

The trade for English wool which, at the commence ment of last week, was decidedly quieter, owing to the advance in the Bank rate, of discount, ruled very firm towards its close, and long stapled descriptions changed hands freely, at extreme rates. For down wools there was a fair average inquiry, and previous quotations arc well supported. To-day the market presents a healthy appear ance, and both combing and clothing wools move off steadily, at full currencies. Colonial wool, by private contract, is in moderate request, and prices show a tendency to advance. The second series of public sales for the current year will commence on the 6th proximo.

(Before the Lord Chief Justice and Justices Blackburn, Mellor, and Shea.) THE QUEEN V. THE MAGISTRATES OF LIVERPOOL. Mr. Edward James, Q.C., moved for a rule nisi calling upon the magistrates of Liverpool to show cause why a writ of habeas should :not issue to bring up the bodies of three Americans named Qaency, Kelly, and Clements, of the ship Legerity, now in custody for piracy on the high seas within the jurisdiction of America. It appeared that a requisition was made on the lOth of Feb ruary to the secretary of State Sir George Grey, by the American Minister, Mr. Adams, under the treaty between this country and America and the Act of Extradition, or an information duly sworn, in which it was alted the three persons named had been guilty of piracy on the high seas ; the application being made at the instance of the Federal Government, and the defendants being in the service of the Confederates. Upon that requsi tion the Secretary of State issued the warrant for the apprehension of the defendants and their examination, and, in the event of committal, of being delivered up to the American Government under the Treaty of Extradition. The learned counsel said the case was one of greed im portance, and if he could not obtain the in terference of the Court the defendants might be de livered up to the Federal Government, and be without any remedy, and his contention was that upon the face of the depositions and evidence taken before the magistrates it clearly up peered that they acted only as belligerents and ❑ot as pirates, and also that if they committed an act of piracy, as alleged, on the high seas, they might be tried in this country in the Court of Ad• miralty. The case bad been tried before Mr. Justice Willes, at Liverpool, who had expressed a very strong opinion that the case was one which deserved the greatest consideration of the Court, and that the proper mode would be to raise the question on the application for a writ of habeas, He, the learned counsel, was at a loss to know in what other form it could be brought before the Court. _ _ _ _ _ Mr. Justice Blackburn doubted whether the habeas was the proper form, but admitted that the case was a most important one, and entitled to the consideration of the Court. The Lord Chief Justice did not well see which other form there could be than an application for a habeas. There could be no doubt it was a very im portant case ; the facts- looked very much like piracy. The persons charged went out as passengers on board a Federal ship with the intention, which they carried into execution, and took possession of the ship, planing the captain in irons, and after wards put them on shore. That certainly looked like piracy. He thought there might be a rule nisi. The other judges concurred in the issuing of rule nisi for habeas. Mr. Lush, Q.C., watched the case on the part of the Confederate Government, who denied that the men were Confederates. Tho writ was directed to the Governor of Kirk dale Gaol. POLICE INTELLIGENCE—This Day. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. A DISCHARGED COMMISSIONAIRE CHARGED WITH STEALING A LETTER CONTAINING A £2O NOTE.—Wm. Reardon, described as a discharged soldier, and who was formerly in the Corps of Commissionaires, was charged be fore Mr. Tyrwhitt with stealing a letter containing a £2O Bank of England note, entrusted by Mr. William Henry Bruce Ogilvy, a gentleman staying at Long's Hotel, New Bond-street. Mr. Ogilvy aaid—Last Saturday weak I gave the pri soner a letter containing a £2O Bank of England note to de liver at No. 31, Colchester .street, St. George's-square. The prisoner came back to me at Long's Hotel the same evening and stated that ho had delivered the letter. I then paid the prisoner his tee, but shortly after was informed the prisoner had not delivered the letter. Having to leave London I left the matter in the hsnds of the head waiter. Mr. Tyrwhitt—How did you know the prisoner ? Mr. Ogilvy—By seeing him doing duty daily opposite the hotel, and thinking he was a regular commissionaire, but I have found out that although wearing the uniform of the corps he did not belong to it, having been discharged. Butcher, 137 C—On Saturday I saw the prisoner outside the hotel. I spoke to the prisoner about the letter, and at first he said he delivered it himself, but afterwards that he give it to an old comrade to deliver, but that the man had not done so. Tho prisoner then took me to Turnham's, in High-street, Marylebone, a public-house, and I there as certained that the note had been changed there by, as they stated, a man in payment of a quartern of rum, the man stating that he was a discharged soldier. Prisoner—l gave the note to an old comrade named George Payne, not knowing there was anything of value in it. I have heard that ho has been seen to change it, and I have tried to find him, but have not succeeded in doing so. I have been told that Payne has been about public-houses since drinking. I have not been charged with such a thing before, although I have bean entrusted with thou sands from Long's Hotel. Butcher—l found a letter in his possession had never been delivered by him as it ought to have been, Mr. Tyrwhitt—l shall remand the prisoner. RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE. TRAFFIC RECEIPTS FOR THE WEEK.

Fills de l'Air, after CambusAn was struck out, and Paris sent to the right about, has held the position of first favourite for nearly the last month. The French filly was certainly the best two-yr-old that ran last year. Several demonstrations have been made to knock her about in the market, but she still holds her place firmer than ever. Although French favourites seldom win, I certainly on the present occasion shall look with great confi• dance to see 11Ile de l'Air run first or second. Pens has been under a cloud for some time past, as much as 3 to 1 having been laid that he would not face the starter. Next to the French filly he is entitled, from his two-yr-old perform ances, to the greatest respect. All sort of rumours have been circulated about him. If he only goes to the post with winning orders, he ought not to be despised. Copenhagen has had a wonderful trial. He has done everything that has been asked of him in pri vate, and I have no doubt he will acquit himself equally well in public. General Peel, since the scratching of First Flight, has now become a prominent favourite. The easy defeat of Lord Clifden by Rapid Rhone has imparted additional confidence to the supporters of his noble owner's colours. Lord Glasgow is ono of the most honourable and straightforward supporters of the turf, and hie success would be hailed with the most lively satisfaction. Planet was beaten in his trial, but I think he is the best horse for those who fancy place investments. John Scott's let seem all to have passed a bad night. Sir Roger, after having beaten two platers, was at once elevated to the rank of second favourite, but he has now taken his proper position amongst the outside division. Acolyte, although said by those well informed to be a doubtful starter, I consider ae the best outsider in the race. His only win last year was at the Newmarket First October meeting, when he w on the Rutland Stakes, carrying Bst 101 b, by eight lengths, beat Z! EsptJance, Bst 61b ; Claremont, 9 st (including 41b extra) and 5i„;: to Knutsford, Bst 61b. If he can only be got to run up to that ; , erformanco, it would not surprise me to see Lord Stamford , now t.t.'at he has scratched Cam buscan, hailed the winner of die Two Thousand. The judge, I expect, will place them in the Wowing order : GENERAL PEEL . ..... 1 FILLE DE L'AIR , COPENHAGEN The fieiJ for the Ono Thousand will be made up from the following : Auricula, by Ambrose—Pocahontas (T.

If I ace any reason to alter my opinion, I shall again refer to the race in The Sun of Wednesday. A FRESH. MAN. A GARIBALDIAN MEDAL.—Nir. T. R. Pinches has produced a bronze medal, commemorative of the visit of Garibaldi to this country. The likeness is pretty good ; and the workmanehip is oltogether effecti7o. " RUM," A NEW OPERA, by Herr Schleibner, is shortly to be produced at Wiesbaden. CANDLELIGHT IMPROVEMENT.--A very consia derable improvement has been made in the manu facture of candles byPrice's Patent Candle Company, in se veral respects. In the first place the company has succeeded by a chemical combination of the ingredients in producing candles specially adapted for bedroom use, which do not drop grease, are very much more durable in use, and emit a more brilliant light, and which at the same time are far cheaper than those previously in use. They have also manufactured and specially adapted for these candles a very cheap and ornamental bronze stick with a reducing socket, which, it need scarcely be said, gives a consider able saving to the consumer in their use. The company have also brought the aid of chemistry to bear in the im provement of their toilet soaps, and while this improve ment in their combination has been secured a greater dura bility in use is at the same time guaranteed.

THE RULES IN RESPECT TO MENTAL LABOI7R I ,,hat are worth remembering the new number of th e s „,;, : l Science Review defines as thus few and simple : First, t,„at literary wo r k ers s h ou ld conten t t h emselves with much less ejort than m ere phy s i ca l wor k ers, b ecause the mental ursh t' effort ca.rries with it not a distributi ve l a b our, but a labour concentrated on on e organ, and th a t organ the key stone of all the organs—the brain ; secondly, th a t regu larity of habit, especially in regard to hours of sleep, ab sence from stimulants, and care in sustaining the body by good food, is an essential to the prolongation of health under literary exertion; and thirdly, that haste in writing —sudden pressure, that is to say, or: the organ of the mind —is specially deleterious.—Article by _Dr. Richardson. Her Majesty's steam storeship Dee, Master. Co mmander Raymond, sailed f rom W oo lwich on Satan. with engines day morning, laden for the steam launch and sails for th e G a l atea a t Devonport, and two boilers and shafts for the Agincourt at Birken• head, the shafts weighing over 11 tons each. The commander and officers of the Dee spoke in the most favourable manner of the holding q ualities of Martin's new pat en t double flake anc hor, now o n board, and whi c h w as subjected to a most terrifi c test in the roadstead d ur ing the gale. Another anchor on the same principle, but of larger dimen sions, has been ordered by the Admiralty.
